If there’s one thing I’ve learned in three years of running a small business, it’s how important it is to surround yourself with people, places, and things that inspire you. It’s funny how a dinner with fellow entrepreneurs or a weekend trip can make me see my business obstacles in a totally new light. Similarly, I find that working from a clean desk and pretty home office is paramount for keeping me inspired and productive. Here are a few home offices I love followed by 25 pieces to help you spruce up your own workspace!

When in doubt, a fragrant candle and/or a vase of fresh flowers work all kinds of magic too. What are your favorite ways to get inspired at work?

Hi Mackenzie,
So excited, I just made my first purchase from your absolutely amazing online shop. I just started my new job last Monday as a probation officer for adults in Boston. When I saw my desk space I thought, “I’ve got to make this my own”. So I’ve been on pinterest just trying to finalize my look that I want. The purchases today will start the process. I read your anniversary post and you sound so happy and passionate to be doing what you love. Just know what a blessing you are to those of us who may work in the dark side of life but need those beautiful touches to surround us amongst the family pics, to create a space that we enjoy coming to work for. Can’t wait until my space is complete. Although I have a feeling these “spaces” are never really finished!!
Have an awesome week, Julie

I really need to work on cleaning up my desk for the spring. In the winter I just let everything clutter together because the cold does not put me in the mood to care about desk organization. Thanks for sharing the inspiration!

Ah, I love those workspaces. I am in the process of re-doing my office just to my liking, yet I always tend to end up with my laptop on the kitchen table. These photos are inspiring me to do otherwise!
